The ane will lag out the app with overhead when it doesn't get disposed. I have run the .dispose method and even tried to null out the scanner reference to no avail. Is there a reason that the ane instance would continue running in the background and cannot be disposed? I have noticed that this behavior is inconsistent since it works flawlessly sometimes. I thought it might be the scan process taking too long but when i try to run the stop method it just continues to hold the instance of the ane. Is there a disposal process that I need to be made aware of?
